They might be optimized away one day, but for now, they are essential.
When version 16 comes in it´ll be possible to define [1] field STORAGE on CREATE TABLE step.
I have some thousands of toast files which are completely useless on my database, so how to remove them.
pg_upgrade ? Those unneeded toast files will be dropped automatically ?
If not, if I do "alter table x alter column y set storage main" then toast file will still exist ?
